Building Information Modeling (BIM) | Rhino & Grasshopper

Building Information Modeling (BIM) | Rhino & Grasshopper

Rhinoceros (short: Rhino) is a software for the computer-aided modelling of any objects (from the teapot to complete buildings). Due to the specialization in NURBS curves and surfaces, there are no limits to the shapes.

In connection with the Grasshopper plugin, you can parameterize your structures as desired, using a clearly arranged, visual programming interface. This makes the product package especially attractive to architects and engineers. The interfaces to Rhino and Grasshopper are implemented in RFEM 6 by default.

Data Exchange Between Rhino and RFEM 6

Rhino Interface

Lines and surfaces, including openings, can be transferred to RFEM 6 (export) or adopted from RFEM (import). The export features the transfer modes "Overwrite" and "Add". The objects to be transferred can be controlled based on selection or layers. When importing into Rhino, the layer in which the objects should be added can also be selected.

Data Exchange Between Grasshopper and RFEM 6

Grasshopper Interface

The Dlubal interface in Grasshopper extends the program by three central component groups for parametric structural design with RFEM 6: model data (for defining geometries, materials, and special structural properties), loads (for generating load cases, imperfections, and various load effects), and RFEM-6 import/export (for general program control, performing calculations, and for bidirectional data exchange).
